[R-sig-teaching] help for beginner

[Albyn Jones]

Have you looked at the teaching resources on the CRAN website?
If not, take a look at the "Contributed" link under Documentation.
There are also numerous published texts that you might find helpful,
eg as sources of examples.  Many of the help files for specific 
functions
have examples, and R has numerous datasets, both in the base package 
and in
other packages.
